Ps4 + fifa 14 + eye toy = more than $500
Sony likes to troll alot lol

And what essential Kinect functionality will Fifa fans be missing out on without an 'eye toy'? Use racist chants at the opposing team to demoralise them?

Does Fifa 14 require PSeye to play it? The quote says PS4+Fifa14 for less than Xb one with free Fifa 14.

Giving away a 3rd party game for free from the day that game launches means things are looking pretty bad in Euro territory for MS. Xb one is already selling at a loss without a bundled game and MS paying EA an extra $30-$40 so they can bundle their game for the launch price is going to add significantly to that loss. To me this implies that Xb one is going to start so badly in continental Europe that it may never recover there and could end up permanently in 3rd place on the continent. That would leave North America and UK as the only significant markets that can give Xb one life. I don't think giving away Fifa 14 is going to do the trick outside the UK; but they've got to try something to convince people to buy.

The thing is, it brings down the difference in price to £30. So for someone who has Halo in the back of their mind, it makes things very different AND if you already have a gold subscription then when you add in new PS+ subscription, price is basically taken out of the equation

If you have Halo on your mind you're already committed or at least heavily leaning towards Xb one, those aren't the people the Fifa giveaway is aimed at; though perhaps psrt of the effect will be to bring forward those people's buying decision. It's aimed at the Fifa fans who don't care a fig about Xb one's FPS and Kinect exclusives. it reduces the gap but it doesn't remove it entirely, for anyone who is price sensitive PS4 still represents the better deal.

I don't think it is. I think it is aimed at stopping people who were thinking of chaning sides. FIFA fans will still look at that and think that they can get it cheaper with the PS4 (and probably prefer the controller)

ps4 + fifa + a bunch of free games = 460 euros < xbox + fifa + nothing = 500 euros

or in the case of my country :

ps4 > no xbox at all cause they they think my country is tier 3 or 4 and they dont release her here

How many months of PS+ does that buy you for the not-really-free games?

Theres a bunch of free games not tied to PSN+... such as MMO's etc .. one of the sensible things Sony did was not put F2P behind a paywall.

That's what I've been saying lol



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


Well, common sense.

All Sony need to do is advertise it with specific retailers. Hit Microsoft where it hurts.
